A week is a long time in politics and it would appear that four days is not much shorter. The afternoon before Pond Scum had his press conference Cullen told us all that Eden Park was dead. Yesterday we are told that Eden Park plans should continue as that was the 'safest option'. This sudden turn around is brought about by the possible rise in steel and concrete prices occaioned by China's rapid industrialisation. China apparently started this last Thursday. Does he really think we are as stupid as he is? This drivel is from the bloke who is currently New Zealand's acting Prime Minister. The place is being run by idiots. He stands up there and lets all this crap dribble out of his gob with a straight face and an earnestness that I suppose he thinks will make us think we believe him. The elected (or not in a lot of cases) leaders of this country are thick, they couldn't organise a booze up in a brewery, couldn't get laid in a knocking shop, they couldn't think their way out of a paper bag. They stuff something up using our money and then walk away from the train smash as if nothing had happened and with no personal comeback. They then wander around looking for something else to roger and the cycle repeats.

A country run by idiots
My mate Chris Carter was on the TV News last night kitted out in his DoC suit releasing tuatara on what used to be called Little Barrier. Eh? It has been decided that Little Barrier should now be know (re-known?) by its Maori name which I have forgotten. He was surrounded by people crying and being generally emotionally distraught over the wonder of the place being returned to its pre nasty white man invasion state. You can only guess as to the magnitude of the waves of nausea that this sort of bollocks induces in me. If Carter is getting my money as salary for being a Minister of the Crown he should be doing something useful with his time (like locking Cullen and Pond Scum in hermetically sealed boxes) instead of this sort of touchy feely crap that has no importance at all in a country that is falling apart at the social seams. By the way, what has happened to his reversal of decision over the marina business as directed by the High Court? I thought he was given a fortnight to comply and the decision must have been handed down a couple of months back.
The more observant of you will have noticed that these scribblings are not based on this morning's Herald. I apologise. I had to leave for the fields at a very uncivilised hour this morning and had to rush the Marmite soldiers and forego my usual perusal of the newsprint. Normal service resumed tomrrow, I hope.
